I have nothing to say about the organization, but I agree that walks are more than bathroom breaks. I always let Mike stop for sniffing and exploring and whenever possible let him have a good run on a fenced tennis court. He does his bathroom business both inside and outside, so he knows that walks are for his pleasure. He is so energetic and I can see a big difference in his behavior in winter when our walks are a bit more sparse and short. He feels so content after exercising both his brain and his body. When I just got him I read somewhere that for your dog a walk is equivalent to a person's updating a newsfeed or checking e-mails)) that analogy made so much sense for me!!! because we know dogs get so much information through their noses! So i thought, hah, if you'd take my internet and my newsfeed and my connection to the outside world I'd be bored too and would as well start to chew on the furniture and bark at front door
